It makes sense, but you totally miss my point. To go with your analogy, my point is:
That’s it.
I don’t care how fascinating the technology is and how clever Apple are: they are not welcome to implement it on my device. I didn’t invite them to setup a card game and I expect them not to break into my house to setup a table.
If they don’t look at my data, they don’t even have to encrypt it.
If they don’t try to look at my data, they don’t need to wonder whether they should ask my permission.
I don’t want Apple or anybody else looking at my data, for any reason, is my point.
Oh yeah I kinda missed your last point. Sorry 🙂
How hard is it to grasp that I don’t want Apple doing anything in my cellphone I didn’t explicitely consent to?
I don’t care what technology they develop, or whether they’re capable of applying it correctly: the point is, I don’t want it on my phone in the first place, anymore than I want them to setup camp in my living room to take notes on what I’m doing in my house.
My phone, my property, and Apple - or anybody else - is not welcome on my property.
It’s not data harvesting if it works as claimed. The data is sent encrypted and not decrypted by the remote system performing the analysis.
What if I don’t want Apple looking at my photos in any way, shape or form?’
I don’t want Apple exflitrating my photos.
I don’t want Apple planting their robotic minion on my device to process my photos.
I don’t want my OS doing stuff I didn’t tell it to do. Apple has no business analyzing any of my data.
assisted living facilities
Aka retirement homes.
Aka exploitation hospices when for-profits manage them.
My Dad withered in one of them - Catholic-run, too - for a few months until my siblings and I realized he wasn’t fed properly, cared for properly, and the retirement home franchisee was spending the absolute minimum on him in order to keep him alive and paying rent but not a cent more.
Ascension’s data breach is probably the least egregious thing about that company.
It’s funny how it feels like my money when I pay for the device at the cash register.
